  3. Good thing they ignore physics... by FearUncertaintyDoubt · · Score: 5, Funny
    ...because explosions in space would sound exactly like non-explosions, and therefore, make for very dull audio.

    begin the great space battle
    "Roger, Red leader, I'm going in"
    twelve minutes of silence
    "This is Red niner. We got 'em. Let's go home"
    end the great space battle

      In Movie Physics sounds are LOUDER in space because they haven't got all that air in the way.

  4. Howabout Starship Exeter by ch-chuck · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Described by one writer as:

    "an interesting site that will be a delight for anyone with broadband and an interest in obsessive sci-fi fandom. Ask yourself: if you and your friends decided to shoot an entire episode of TOS Star Trek, and you wrote a script set on the recommissioned Exeter, and you rented a warehouse, built a replica of a Constitution-class starship, designed all the sets and lighting to look like 1967 TV, and spent SEVEN YEARS on the project, meticulously recreating the look and sound of a TOS episode, what would the result look like?"

    I haven't checked it out yet but looks rather interesting.
